Sun Lang, the commander who guarded the Zhuque Gate, was unable to rest throughout the morning, and strange things happened one after another.

Early in the morning, a large group of soldiers came over, without taking any documents, and asked for a change of defense. The two sides were still confronting each other at the gate of Zhuque! Just after noon, the reinforcements that were supposed to be heading to Guizhou rushed to the city again.

Because Sun Lang is a relative of Ma Xichong and is good at dealing with him, he was promoted to commander. He can drink and have fun, but it is really not possible to fight! The current situation is too complicated. There are soldiers in his own military uniforms inside and outside the city wall. What should I do? Should I open the door? Sun Lang was completely confused and curled up behind the battlements with his sleeves, making him look like a mud-shaped god.

Directly heading north along Antai Avenue, the originally spacious road was blocked by the mysterious and fierce soldiers, and even a fly could not fly. The person who followed the city wall to the Chu Palace to learn about the situation has not returned yet, and his number one thousand people were completely trapped in the Zhuque Gate.

If Sun Lang does not accept the move, it does not mean that others will not make any move.

Suddenly, a sound arrow came out of the city, and the screaming sound passed through the sky, attracting the attention of all the soldiers on and off the city wall.

Immediately, a soldier ran up the city wall ladder and reported loudly: "The soldiers in the city moved and kept moving forward!"

Before he finished speaking, he kept staring at a personal guard outside the city and shouted: "The soldiers under the city wall are also forcing forward, and it seems that they are about to attack the city!"

Sun Lang hugged his head and curled his body deeper. When there was no choice, he could only drag it hard!

However, things were not something that Sun Lang could avoid. At this time, a loud roar suddenly came from the bottom of the city: "The imperial edict of the King of Chu has arrived, Sun Lang will receive the order!"

Sun Lang was shocked and immediately stood up and ran towards the city wall and stairway.

The edict was recited by a middle-aged strong man riding on a horse, followed by nearly a hundred blood-filled cavalrymen.

The content of the edict is very simple, saying that Ma Xichong had been killed by treason, and Sun Lang immediately surrendered, and his subordinates would not pursue the matter. If anyone resisted, he would not be killed.

When Sun Lang heard this, his whole body immediately became soft and he collapsed on the ground. Two cavalrymen dismounted and took him aside. His guards watched helplessly and did not dare to move at all.

The aggressive cavalry came forward and drove the city guards who were stunned to the spot. The soldiers who had been confronting each other rushed forward and took away the weapons of the city guards, pushing the people aside to look.

The city gate was quickly pushed open.

Feng Jingyun took the lead and rushed in. He asked a few words to Liu Qi who was reciting the edict. He turned around with surprise and shouted to the recruits who were entering the city: "Brothers, don't worry! The Ma Xichong rebellion has been successfully quelled, and Tanzhou City is safe and sound!"

"Oh!" The new recruits who rushed back to Tanzhou City suddenly cheered.

After everyone's cheers fell, Feng Jingyun continued: "Everyone must be worried about their relatives. From now on, everyone can go home to visit their relatives! Two days later, Chen Shi gathered in front of the King of Chu's mansion!"

The cheers of the recruits became even louder, and they immediately scattered and rushed towards the direction where their home was.

At this time, Liu Qi gathered together Feng Jingyun, Zhang Longxing and others, and whispered a brief explanation of what happened in Tanzhou City. Feng Jingyun became even more relaxed and excited. He immediately ordered some soldiers to take the soldiers guarding the city into the South Gate Military Camp and quickly rushed to the Chu Palace with the remaining soldiers.

The process of dealing with the Zhuque Gate in the south is very simple, and it is even easier to deal with Ma An, the general guarding the city of the West Gate. A false edict was drawn up on the spot, saying that a minor incident occurred in the Chu Palace, so Ma An asked him to come to the mansion to discuss matters as soon as possible.

Ma An immediately brought three personal guards to come over on horseback. As soon as he arrived at the scene, he learned about the rebellion of Ma Xichong. Ma An had always been Ma Xichong's capable subordinate. Two months ago, when Tanzhou City was broken, it was Ma An who led his troops to abandon the East City Gate at the first time, which allowed tribal soldiers to enter easily. Upon hearing this bad news, Ma An immediately fell to the ground.

Shortly afterwards, a slight riot occurred in Ma Xi'e's command warship outside the Xicheng Gate. The big ship suddenly caught fire and turned into a fire. No one on the ship could run out.

By Shenshi (3:00 pm), the city had basically restored its normal order.

The fast horses drove out of the Chu Palace and rushed to various places in Tanzhou City. The orders they received were very simple. The civil and military ministers of the court had to rush to the Chu Palace at the hour of You (5 p.m.) to discuss the country's status.

The city that had been rioting for most of the day had already caused the people and the ministers to panic. The word "country is" in the letters brought by these cavalry made many ministers' hearts jump.

The words of the country come from Fan Ye of the Southern Dynasty's "Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Biography of Huan Tan Feng Yan": "King Zhuang said: 'Good. I hope that the prime minister and the officials will work together to determine the country'." And "this is, it is", and "this is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is, it is the major policy of the country's long-term governance. Generally speaking, the country does not refer to general state affairs, but refers specifically to major affairs such as national decision-making and planning.

Because of these mystery and doubts that are enough to make people crazy, there is no need to urge them. These ministers rushed to the Chu Palace as soon as they received the order.

Starting from the gate of the mansion, the ministers who arrived one after another were shocking to see. The blood marks on the ground, trees, and walls had not yet dried up completely, and looked scary.

Seeing that these people were hesitant, Feng Jingyun, who was responsible for the welcome, immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and invited these ministers to come to the Kowloon Hall to wait quietly.

In the Jiulong Hall, the ministers looked at each other, looked at each other and asked with their mouths what happened? No one knew! The old minister Tuoba Heng, who came in late, stood alone outside the crowd, closed his eyes slightly, and relaxed.

When the You hour arrived, a large number of fully armed Tang soldiers rushed in from the entrance of the hall. The one in front of him was the Ninth Highness of the Tang Dynasty, Li Congqian, who was familiar to everyone.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Congqian was protected by Feng Jingyun, Lin Renzhao, Chen Desheng, Liu Qi, Qin Hansheng and other ten special soldiers, and headed straight to the Dragon Chamber. The other soldiers closed the door to death with a clang, and then scattered to the surroundings of the hall, staring at the ministers in front of him with a fierce look.

The hall suddenly became a little dark, and the hearts of a group of ministers were even more chaotic, and their eyes were all staring at Li Congqian in the middle.

Li Congqian stood in front of the throne, did not sit down, and spoke in a still childish voice-

"The war between Guizhou and our Chu-Tang coalition forces won a great victory, and the results were brilliant. They wiped out the Southern Han army and recovered Wuzhou! Lord Lin Feng, Lord Liu Renshan was fine!" Li Congqian's first words shocked all the ministers on the scene. Is this true? Why do everyone always hear the news of the frontline defeat and Lin Feng's death in battle?

Next, Li Congqian spoke quickly and explained the whole story of the incident.

A few days ago, he personally rushed back to Tanzhou City with several special forces to report the good news. He was arranged by Ma Xichong to secretly receive him. Since then, he has been under house arrest in Huang Zongwang's mansion. Ma Xichong, who intends to usurp the throne, concealed the news of victory from the outside and insisted on claiming that the war in Guizhou was defeated in the war, and used this as a reason to transfer all the main forces of the defenders out of Tanzhou City. Last night, Xu Wei led a large army to surround the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at the East Gate, and at the same time sent masters to raid the Chu King's Mansion.

The besieged Tang army fought overnight and finally successfully killed Xu Wei, rushed into Huang Zongwang's mansion to rescue his group. By the time he led his army to the Chu King's Mansion to rescue the lord, it was too late. The King of Chu and all the personnel in the mansion had been killed, and even the King of Chu commanded the warship outside the west gate was burned. He was about to lead the army to take down Ma Xichong, but Ma Xichong committed suicide on the spot for fear of guilt.

The ministers who were originally surprised by the news of the victory of the Guizhou Battle became more and more shocked the more they heard it. How did this incident sound like a myth?

Tuoba Heng opened his eyes slightly for a moment at first, and soon closed it again, but a face that always kept smiling appeared in his heart: Lin Feng! It was precisely because of Lin Feng's arrival that the Chu State quickly moved towards the end of the world. All of this must be Lin Feng's plan again. I am afraid that from the first day of entering Chu, Lin Feng has been planning how to steal the entire Chu State!

Li Congqian finished introducing it concisely. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers from the outside walked up and put six bags on the ground in the middle of the minister, and untied them at the same time. The ministers immediately exclaimed, and these six heads were all very familiar faces in their daily life:

Ma Xichong, Xu Wei, Cao Jin, Sun Lang, Ma An, Xie Yanong.

Looking at the hair on the ground with ferocious blood and wide-eyed heads, the ministers were so shocked that they retreated step by step. Several ministers who were usually close to Ma Xichong couldn't help but soften their knees and fell to the ground. Only Tuoba Heng took a few steps forward and looked at Ma Xichong, who was still arrogant the day before, and his close heads.

Li Congqian pointed to the head of the underground and said loudly: "Fortunately, the Chu State is a slander like Ma Xichong to commit evil and destroy the foundation of the Great Chu, which is really heartbreaking. However, the national economy and people's livelihood cannot be interrupted in one day. Because the Chu State has already praised our Tang Dynasty, from today on, Congqian is not talented and temporarily leads the Great Chu State for a short period of time. He will issue the following imperial edict for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty:

Article 1: The land of Chu is difficult and the people are in trouble. From next year, the people in Chu are exempted from rent for three years;”

The first one is a major positive news, but these ministers were not happy. They looked at the heads underground and Li Congqian.

"Article 2: The Chu army will be reorganized from now on to eliminate every black sheep;"

"Article 3: All the remaining ministers in the court will be temporarily appointed as their original positions and will attend court as usual tomorrow; in daily courts, Mr. Tuoba Heng will temporarily lead the troupes." Li Congqian still sang a promise loudly.

As soon as he heard the third article, Tuoba Heng could clearly hear the ministers relaxing in a breath. There were more than a dozen clever ministers in front of him who reacted very quickly, and had already knelt down on their knees and kowtowed to Li Congqian. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that in the eyes of these ministers, his official position was much more important than the Chu State and the people of Chu State.

However, when these people heard that Tuoba Heng was taking charge of the daily court, the ministers whose expressions had basically returned to normal also turned their envious eyes to Tuoba Heng.

Tuoba Heng stood there, his eyes closed slightly, but his slightly trembling beard proved that his heart was never calm.

Since the founding of Ma Yin in August of the second year of Tiancheng (927 AD), the State of Chu, which was dominated by Hunan and Hubei, took only 23 years to officially declare its disappearance!
